A hunt for stolen diamonds brings Cleese’s strait-laced English barrister into the sights of Curtis and Oscar-winner Kline’s criminal duo from the US. Ealing comedy legend Charles Crichton spent years working on this critically acclaimed and hugely successful comedy with Cleese, creating a fast-paced and hilarious heist movie that is, quite simply, Wanda-ful.

The screening of A Fish Called Wanda on Wednesday 4 February will be introduced by Josh Glenn, BFI Production Coordinator.
